Hi Yashasvi ,
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident. This type injury can be very serious, but depending on the details of the injury, he may be able to recover with medication and time. It is very important for you to take him to an Avian vet or a vet who can treat birds. The vet may give the bird something for pain and inflammation. Do not give up on his recovery. I have known paralyzed birds who were able to walk and fly again eventually. It may take months or a year, but many times recovery or partial recovery is possible. But it is very important to treat his pain and swelling and make sure he doesn’t develop any infection.
Tale care,
Brenda
